(Tuesday March 15, 2011) Brian Magee said to people of Montreal today that he was very excited to be here and it’s going to be a great St. Patrick week for him. “I will win over Bute and go on to the St-Patrick parade as the new IBF super middleweight champion.”
The Boxing Examiner: Hi Brian how are you?
Brian Magee: Very good, thank you.
TBE: Bute and yourself are both southpaws and as we know in this business southpaws hate facing one another. Do you see any problems with this Brian?
Magee: I’m glad you asked this question! But I see no problems at all! I have broke down Mads Larsen, a very good southpaw in his backyard. I am prepared for Bute and his style and it will be no different from what I did to Larsen. Read More
